Buceo Islas Cíes

A PADI diving centre in Vigo with its own boat at the Bouzas quay: introductory dives in the Cíes or the ría from €95, guided dives and courses all year round.

Who they are

Buceo Islas Cíes is a diving centre in Vigo that presents itself as a PADI 5-star instructor development centre and says it has been working in the ría for more than fifteen years. It dives mainly in two areas: the Cíes Islands, inside the Atlantic Islands National Park, and the Vigo ría itself, with wrecks and mussel rafts. For technical or deep dives it operates on request.

How they work

It sails with its own boat from the Bouzas quay, in Vigo, which has direct access to a floating pontoon. It advertises regular outings throughout the year. The date of any outing is confirmed beforehand by phone, WhatsApp or email; the office is open Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 21:00 and at weekends from 9:00 to 14:00.
